Some companies hire the best. This one hires the best and makes them better.

Super-prime residential Site Managers - worth a read...


A lot of construction jobs in London say they’re “high-end residential.”
This one actually is.
Not the “nice kitchen, bit of stone, client chose Farrow & Ball” version of high-end.

The Prime Central London version. The one where:
• You’re refurbishing a house in Chelsea that is roughly 13,500 sq ft. Which is about the size of several normal houses. Stacked together. With a basement underneath them.
• And you’re not just refurbishing it.
• You’re also building the basement (while the neighbours monitor the situation with the quiet intensity normally reserved for airport security).

Anyway.
A £40m+ turnover Super-Prime Residential Contractor (one of the best for sure) - about 15 years old and currently having a very good run of work - has secured several new projects, including:
• £22m refurbishment / fit-out in Holland Park
• £15m fit-out and basement construction in Chelsea
• £20m refurbishment fit-out in Eaton Square

And because of this, they’re looking for a Senior Site Manager.

A proper one.
Not someone who is technically running a site while also running two other sites and attending four progress meetings a week where everyone discusses why the programme is late.

This role is No.1 on a site.

You’ll have a Contracts Manager handling programme and contractual issues, leaving you to focus on the things a good Senior Site Manager actually cares about:
• Running the site properly.
• Keeping standards high.
• Quietly preventing disasters.

They’re quite selective about who they hire.

People with Prime Central London refurbishment experience, solid longevity with employers, and a track record of delivering projects where the client expects everything to be exactly right.

They are looking for the “Crème de la crème.”

Salary is up to around £80k–£90k (negotiable) + travel paid on top + package

If you happen to be a Senior Site Manager who enjoys the delicate art of structurally altering buildings or digging very large holes underneath very expensive houses, feel free to get in touch if you’re curious, interested or know someone that may be..
